Bosch enters his third season with NC State and joined the Pack in June 2023 as an assistant coach with focus on defense, data, and player development.

Leftwich said, "Mike is an incredible find for the Wolfpack. As a decorated SEC assistant and experienced former head coach, Mike's path to NC State will help push the program forward quickly. Mike brings a wealth of knowledge that he tactfully applies to all aspects of the game. His ability to understand data, analytics and biomechanics is unmatched, but he sets himself apart by how he conveys those ideas to the players. He is truly the professor of player development. His relational qualities as a husband and father can easily be seen in how the players respond and grow under his coaching. He has amassed a ton of connections in the travel ball and high school community and will continue to recognize talent at an elite level. I am honored to add Mike to my family."

Bosch comes to Raleigh after working primarily with the Florida pitching staff where he helped develop Elizabeth Hightower into an All-SEC Freshman Team selection. He also mentored Natalie Lugo who led the NCAA in saves (6) in 2020. Under his leadership, the Gator pitching staff maintained an ERA below 3.70 in the last five seasons.

Prior to his time in Gainesville, he spent three seasons as the head coach of fellow ACC opponent Syracuse. During his time at the helm of the Orange, he led the development of six All-ACC selections. One of those was a 2017 Top-10 finalist for USA National Player of the Year, Sydney O'Hara. In his final season leading the Orange in 2018, he helped guide then-sophomore Alexa Romero to a nation-leading 10.9 strikeouts per inning.

Bosch also previously spent 13 years as head coach at Iowa Community College. During that time, he garnered a 525-236-2 record. He helped produce 28 All-Americans and 81 All-Region athletes, in addition to leading the team to two National Junior College Athletic Association Championships. The 2008 team placed fifth and the 2010 team finished third in the tournament. Bosch and his staff were also tabbed the NFCA Midwest Coaching Staff of the Year both years.

Bosch has three children, Kendall, Jacob, Cartsen. He and his wife, Ellen, reside in Raleigh.
